FUGITIVE'S VEHICLE FOUND IN WYOMING
Police say it is not a fresh lead in the hunt for the shootout suspects.
By Rita Price.
Two fugitive brothers wanted for their roles in shootouts with law
enforcement officers in Wilmington, Ohio, have left behind a motor home and a
trail that turns cold in Wyoming.
Authorities reported no signs of Chevie and Cheyne Kehoe as FBI agents
prepared to search an abandoned 1977 Dodge Executive motor home found arounbd
5:15 p.m. beneath an I-25 overpass about 15 miles north of Casper, Wyoming.
Wyoming Highway Patrol spokesman Perrin Truel said the vehicle has Montana
license plates registered to Karena Gumm, 23, wife of fugitive Chevie Kehoe,
24.
Chevie and Cheyne, 20, of Colville, Wash., have been the subjects of a
nationwide manhunt since shortly after Feb. 15, when they fired on law
enforcement officers in Wilmington. One bystander was injured in the
incident, which was captured on videotape.
Truel said the motor home adandonment is not a fresh lead.
"A rancher who lived in the area had seen it sitting there for about a week,"
he said.
A Wyoming trooper spotted it Friday and alerted other authorities, Truel
said.
"It was in a place where it would not be easily visible," Wyoming patrol Lt.
Mike Dayton said. "It was all curtained, and we couldn't tell if anyone was
in it."
Authorities had begun searching for the white and green motor home after the
shooting, when suspects identified as the Kehoes abandoned their other
vehicle, a 1977 Chevrolet Suburban, loaded with guns, ammunition, bulletproof
vests and gear with FBI and police logos.
"We don't know if they were traveling all together or if they split up," Ohio
Highway Patrol Sgt. John Born said yesterday. "I don't know of any specific
sightings that we've been able to confirm."
Asked how such a conspicuous, wanted vehicle could make it across the country
without detection, Born answered, "You tell me."
The Kehoes may be traveling with their wives and four young children,
authorities say.
Both Kehoes are named in a 16-count indictment out of Clinton County that
charges them with the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.
Chevie Kehoe also has been indicted on three counts of federal firearms
violations.

McCURTAIN GAZETTE RESPONDS TO ALLEGATIONS THAT J.D.CASH WAS SOURCE FOR DALLAS
MORNING NEWS "STORY"
McCurtain Gazette
107 South Central
P.O.Box 179
Idabel, OK 74745
(405) 288-3321
PRESS RELEASE, MARCH 1, 1997:
As a result of numerous inquiries concerning a Dallas Morning News article
and comments made Friday night by Stephen Jones, the McCurtain Daily Gazette
wishes to flatly deny that reporter J.D.Cash or any member of the news staff
has even the slightest knowledge of how the Dallas Morning News came into
possession of the information it relied on to print a story based upon
documents that are clearly a hoax.
Members of the press have told Cash that his name has been floated in Denver
as the purported intermediary who set up the Dallas newspaper. That is
simply not the case.
We are familiar with the documents referred to in the Dallas Morning News
accounts published today and we are also familiar with why they were created.
It has long been our understanding that the contents of that document are a
mixture of fact and fantasy-- purposely and skillfully created so as to allow
a member of the McVeigh defense team the opportunity to gain access and
information from a single source in their complex and sprawling
investigation.
A clear reading of the document by anyone familiar with the intimate details
of the Oklahoma City bombing indicates that the vast majority of the contents
of the document are concocted, and tthat it should therefore be wholly
discounted.
We find it incredible and mystifying that the details from this carefully
crafted, but obviously misleading document, could show up on the front page
of a national newspaper of the stature of the Dallas Morning News.
We also wish to state in the strongest terms that we know of no legimate
document in the possession of the Jones-McVeigh defense team which reflects
accurate statements made by Timothy McVeigh professing his guilt in the
Oklahoma City bombing.

DMN SEZ: "We Did Nothing Wrong and We Won't Do It Again."
********************************
Paper To Lay Low on McVeigh
The Associated Press
DENVER (AP) - The newspaper that published a purported confession by
Oklahoma City bombing defendant Timothy McVeigh says it won't put out any
more material from the documents it obtained.
The Dallas Morning News on Friday cited a defense team memorandum that said
McVeigh admitted to driving the explosives-laden truck that demolished the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in April 1995. It said he chose a daytime
attack to ensure a ``body count.''
The bombing killed 168 people and injured more than 500. McVeigh's trial is
to begin later this month in federal court here.
Morning News executives said Sunday they will file a statement with in court
today saying they would not report any more information ``from material used
as the source of the previous articles.''
The newspaper said the court would be told that the paper ``remains
sensitive to the tension between Mr. McVeigh's fair trial rights and the
national public interest in this case.''
Morning News Editor Ralph Langer said the statement is to answer concerns
about disrupting the trial. He said the information already published by the
newspaper was of overriding public significance, but ``any further articles
based on the defense reports would not rise to the same level of
importance.''
All copies of the materials were turned over to the newspaper's attorneys
for safekeeping, the paper said.
Stephen Jones, a lawyer for McVeigh, said the paper refused to give him a
copy of the memo.
``I don't know everything that The Dallas Morning News knows, but this is
not a legitimate defense memorandum, and I don't know exactly how they
obtained it,'' Jones told ABC's ``This Week'' on Sunday.
``But I have a pretty good idea this morning and we will be going to the
court to inform the judge of what we know.''
Jones had said Friday that he thought the material was a hoax perpetrated by
someone with ``a reason to dislike the newspaper, and the source has, in my
opinion, used an intermediary and set this newspaper up.''
Langer told the NBC ``Today'' show today that the paper ``researched this
story carefully and obviously would not run a story that it was not confident
of its information and sources and research and reporting.''
``We didn't publish until we had gone through all that process.''
McVeigh's trial, scheduled to begin March 31, was moved from Oklahoma City
to Denver because of pretrial publicity. Jones had threatened to seek to have
the trial moved to Alaska or Hawaii if there are more reports that refer to
confidential documents.
Jones said he cannot say whether the newspaper's report is true because of
U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch's gag order and his own code of
professional responsibility.
``So the only way that I can tell you an answer to that question is to say,
`One, Mr. McVeigh has pled not guilty, and two, the defense will not present
a false defense,''' Jones said.
Langer said the paper's editors debated at length about what to do with the
story and decided it needed to be published.
Larry Pozner, vice president of the National Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers, disagreed. He said the McVeigh conversation, if it took place, is
protected by attorney-client privilege.
As for the memo, Pozner said, ``The only way you could have it, if it
exists, is through a violation of some other citizen's rights.''
Sam Archibald, a retired professor of journalism at the University of
Colorado, said the newspaper was obliged to print the story.
``If an editor decides the documents are valid he or she should publish
it,'' he said. ``Editors are not in the business of withholding information.
They are in the business of publishing.''
